All smiles! Costa Rica is happiest place on earth
San Jose: Costa Rica is the happiest place on earth, and one of the most environmentally friendly, according to a new survey by a British nongovernmental group.
The New Economics Foundation looked at 143 countries that are home to 99 per cent of the world’s population and devised an equation that weighed life expectancy and people’s happiness against their environmental impact.By that formula, Costa Rica is the happiest, greenest country in the world, just ahead of the Dominican Republic.
Latin American countries did well in the survey, occupying nine of the top 10 spots.Australia scored third place, but other major Western nations did poorly, with Britain coming in at 74th place and the United States at 114th. AFP
